Order

- Amanda Trevithick and Shaun Godson must pay Shelter Realty Limited as Agent for Ancarmo Properties Limited $5,740.60 immediately, calculated as shown below:
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing which was scheduled by videconference. The tenants did not attend and couldn’t be reached by phone on the numbers given in the Notice of Hearing, which was properly served.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. Rent arrears have increased since then. The last rent payment made was on 18 November 2025 which paid the rent to 20 November 2025.
- The tenancy is terminated. 1 Because no rent has been paid for such a long time, an Order for immediate termination is appropriate.
- The landlord provided records which prove the amount owing for rent at the end of the tenancy and for water rates to the last reading on 28 January 2026.
- Because the landlord has succeeded with its claim I reimburse the filing fee.
